that's awesome I'd love to be able to build summat up myself like this but I'd not know where to start. Maybe in a few years that can change

New Wheels alert.

Dropped 200g's off the front and 250g's off the rear (inc SLX cassette over LX) wheels alone!!

Just need some lighter tyres and I'll loose between 2 & 3lbs inc. the wheel upgrade, winner!!

Hi, I've just started a blog on building up my Cove HJ from scratch - I hope to provide info & ideas that I've found to be not so easy to find online as well as the basics of trying to do this at home.
Subscribe & follow the ride. Hope it entertains!
